SOUTH BRUNSWICK Township police in conjunction with North Brunswick Police and the New Jersey State Police Marine Bureau recovered the body of Lee Greenberg Saturday morning in Farrington Lake.

At 10:45 a.m. police responded to the lake and located Greenberg's body about 15 feet off the township portion of the waterway. Greenberg had been reported missing on Wednesday. The New Jersey State Police Marine Bureau assisted in recovering Greenberg.

The Middlesex County Medical Examiner's Office has scheduled an autopsy Sunday. The investigation is ongoing, but no foul play is suspected.

"He liked to walk on the trails around there, so we're not ruling out that he may have fallen into the water," said Lt. James Ryan of the township police.

Police previously had said they were concerned about Greenberg's mental health.

Judy Wohl Rudin, a friend of Greenberg's wife, posted on Facebook around 1 p.m., "It is with deep sadness that I tell you that Daralynn's husband was found this morning."

When asked for a comment, Rudin said, "I spoke to her for two minutes. She was hysterical. Just said they found him."

Rudin also said that she would provide information about funeral arrangements.

The Greenberg family could not be reached for comment.

Greenberg was last seen during the day on Wednesday, Ryan said. Police located his red 2006 Mazda Miata on Riva Avenue near Ireland Brook Drive at around 10 p.m. Wednesday night. Police conducted extensive searches of the surrounding woods, neighborhoods and waters.
